SECTION 3 − INTRODUCTION 3-1. Serial Number And Rating Label Location The serial number and rating information for this product is located on the rear panel. Use rating label to determine input power requirements and/or rated output. For future reference, write serial number in space provided on back cover of this manual. 3-2.
3-4. Duty Cycle And Overheating Duty Cycle is percentage of 10 min- utes that unit can weld at rated load without overheating. If unit overheats, output stops, a Help message is displayed and cooling fan runs. Wait fifteen min- utes for unit to cool. Reduce amper- age or voltage, or duty cycle before welding.
